Display Apparatus and Method of Manufacturing the Same

1. A display apparatus comprising: a first substrate including a display area having a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix; and a second substrate disposed to be opposed to the first substrate, the second substrate including a recess portion that extends over a region corresponding to the display area, wherein the first substrate includes, a separator that separates the pixels in the display area and is disposed to be spaced apart from the second substrate, and a support section disposed in a frame shape on an outer peripheral portion of the display area such that a predetermined gap is provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, the support section having a height substantially equal to a height of the separator.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the support section and the separator are formed of the same material.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the support section is formed in a loop shape such that the support section seals between the display area of the first substrate and the second substrate.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the support section is disposed over a drive circuit for driving the pixels.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second substrate provides a desiccating agent.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the support section is formed of a resin including a desiccating agent.

7. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the pixel includes a self-emission type display device.

8. The display apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the self-emission type display device comprises a first electrode formed in an independent insular shape for each pixel, a second electrode disposed to be opposed to the first electrode and commonly formed for all the pixels, and a light-emitting layer sandwiched between the first electrode and the second electrode.

9. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a seal material for sealing between the first substrate and the second substrate is disposed on both sides of the support section.

10. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the seal material is formed of a resin including a desiccating agent.

11. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the support section is formed in an insular shape on an outer peripheral portion of the display area.
